Higher sharpening. Pretty much always the case and people think it's cleaner.

Taa in this game was always very soft, even native 4k is soft. No wonder that pssr with sharpening pass looks much... sharper.

It's the same picture...if you're watching these on a 720p screen. The Pro version is much better. Her freckles, hair, etc are not blurred at all on the Pro. You can literally see the pores on her face. Holy shit.

Look at the strands of hair, eyebrows and self shadowing.

My god. You can even make out her Adams apple, and the stubble on her chin now.

Yes, exactly. It all becomes relative at one point. Otherwise, as you said, TLOU 2 even at 60 FPS is one of the best-looking games out there.

Strange the way we can see the same things and interpret them differently. I always saw it as such a human trait but I think maybe the difference is I never saw Ellie as a "hero". Just another person in this shitty ass world who is flawed like everyone else. She can't even forgive Joel who risked his life for her. I kind of thought it was one of the themes of the game is holding in so much hate and letting it drive you to do shitty things.
Plus IMO I wouldn't have forgiven the dude anyways. I have very little patience for people who get fucked up and act a fool. It's almost never their first or last time.

DLAA is such a game changer for me, I've been using with my 4090 a lot lately and it gives such a perfect, crisp pictures without any jaggies. Love it

The PS5 Pro does not support poors.

And that's a crucial character trait on display, especially because of the specific turn the story tasks just an hour later. And then how the game ends.

If one is specifically looking at the improvements, then it's not a $700 upgrade. It's more like a $350 upgrade as the user would most likely be exchanging their PS5 for a PS5 Pro.

Oh no they did a test video on a game that already looks good heavens forbid! Or you can ignore the vid as i also thinks the game looks awesome even with the PS4 ver on PS5, there will be better examples but jeez relax dudes.

Not only that's only for US and maybe a couple of other countries, it's also more expensive than $700 everywhere else.

Yep. Likewise, if someone is looking to buy a new console then it is the difference in price between base PS5 vs PS5 Pro that should be evaluated to determine if it is worth it.
But it is still a comparison relative to the base PS5 price.

Definitely. Love the third party DLAA injectors for some games.
Kinda the dislike these resolution wars now that Pro is in the mix. It's not really meaningful and it only exposes shortcomings in model details. I wish all this horse power was spend on redefining physicalized animations, world reactivity, etc. instead of 'eVeRyThiNg sLiGhTLy MoAr ShArP NoW!'

Nah man. Abby's testosterone is much clearer on the leftmost pic.

The death of FSR is upon us
It was set up to show Ellie as kind of a dick who doesn't forgive.
It's central to the story that unfolds with Abby and the ending where she does.

I'm actually hesitant right now. I pre-ordered the Pro, but the DE and disc PS5 are on sale for $375 and $426 respectively. They are tempting and I'm wondering if it's really worth it to invest in a Pro for another $325. I'll only be playing PS5 exclusives which already look great for the most part. Those prices for the base model are incredible, so I'm reconsidering since the Pro is damn near twice the price.

So is cyberpunk.isn't TLoU2 a PS4 game?......
Cross promotion of season 2 of the HBO show, since it's right around the corner. Plus it's still one of the best looking games ever made regardless of you feel about the other parts.

Pro looks significantly better, even compared to the PS5 Fidelity mode.

If you don't have a PS5 yet, go Pro 100%

Pro is looking like a better investment every day. Thing is going to shine in the back half of this generation for sure.

How about using the time and effort for new games instead?

If the $325 mean that much to you then just get the base. I'm getting the pro and selling my PS5. The extra $400 or so I spend doesn't mean anything to me really. I still think the base PS5 works and plays great. I just want the best of the best when it comes to my console gaming.

Yeah, Elden Ring PS5 will finally run at locked 60.

If they were showing this kind of upgrade for TLOU II, I don't think people would be complaining.

I hear the game is about forgiveness, so it's likely intentional, but it just felt like such a sign of the times for me and was an immediate turnoff.

A shitty youtube screengrab vs a photo mode pristine shot. Sounds fair lmao.If they were showing this kind of upgrade for TLOU II, I don't think people would be complaining.
